Feeling Like a Fall Book? 

I have TWO books that take place in the fall and ONE book that has a timeline that partially falls in the Fall. Once Upon a Pumpkins Spice Latte (takes place in October!), His Favorite Inconvenience (takes place in November!), and His Favorite Distraction (starts Thanksgiving weekend!). 

News! All of My Books Have Been Recovered!

For the longest time, I have wanted to recover the first romances I wrote back in 2013 through 2016. And now I have! 

I am a graphic designer and illustrator, as well as a writer (I waffled for the longest time over which one I should study in school...I was like "Which one will pay the bills better?" In the end, I went with writing, and later on, I finally studied graphic design).

The recovered books are:
-His Favorite Regret
-His Favorite Inconvenience
-His Favorite Distraction
-The Absolute Worst Fake Fiance (originally a serial published under the titles Bad Mom Rents a Man, Bad Mom Rents a Man: Glampfest, and Bad Mom Rents a Man: Snowed In.

You can also find my book published in 2023, Once Upon a Pumpkin Spice Latte, under Books!

The Smilemaker

I do not profess to be perfect, even with my masters in English (rhetoric and the semantics of writing) and my 19 years as a college English professor.

I was also a national magazine editor for four years, and I use editors to proofread my work.
But, mistakes still go through.

Humans will human, and all that jazz. 

Which is why I have
The Oopsy Daisy Report! 

If you report an oopsy to me that hasn't been oopsied to me yet, I'll send you a little thank you, from one human to another. 🧡
